Strawberry Mint Lemonade

It is so nice to have a great pitcher of cold Lemonade waiting for  you after working in the garden.  It is refreshing  just to sit on the porch relax and visit with you  for a bit and enjoy a nice cold glass of lemonade.

  7. Hi, I am visiting via Recipe Box. This sounds really refreshing. LOve the idea of blending strawberries with lemon juice. And agave makes it much more healthy. MIch@www.pieceofcake.sg
